My budget for this is $200.00

Also please make sure you are VERY fluent in English before applying.

Please make sure you guys have blockchain architectural or programming experience.

You are asking a technical writer who is very fluent in English and should be having blockchain architectural experience.
Simply break your job for 2 people. Good programmer rarely write good documentation and I guess your budget is also somewhat low.

If you want to buy more bitcoin for speculation purpose and already have good amount of bitcoin then I will suggest to wait. Whatever I am reading and my gut feeling (should not be trusted at all but sometime proves too accurate ) that we can reach the level $2000 to $2500 before BTC will actually rebound.


Good new is that, Bitcoin users/bitcoin awareness is increasing every day. Increase adoption/awareness will show it effect on price sooner or later.

1144  Other / Meta / Re: Merit requirement should be proportional to activity/bounty stakes on: December 08, 2018, 04:28:32 PM
This would only mean that the forum was meant for signature campaign which is absolutely wrong
Besides its illegal for an individual to enter a bounty with multiple account if caught would be penalized so that case is solved.
But you cannot deny they are bringing problem and where you read that forum rules do not allow to take part in bounty with multiple account?
It is just frowned. Do you have any idea that how much effort is required to caught all these abuser and all this is a voluntary work.

And besides some individuals would focus on first getting the merits then after they must have gotten merit required to rise to there desired rank then then fall back to spamming just to match there activities to the rank.
Instead I will say if it takes 25 merit to Jr.Member then instead of going back to spamming in first one and try to achieve 25 in second one look  stupids. It will be better for forum and user that user will try for next 25 Merit to become Member. In current situation many user are suspected that they  purchased
1 merit.

I totally agree on this statement, it would be great if you suggest a better distribution of stakes for all ranks. I can apply it in some of my upcoming campings I guess.
Surely, the stakes are not maintained as per the difficulty of a level to reach as per merit requirements. And the same is applied by many bounties from a much long time.


I am not sure what are the exact challenges BM faces in this forum but I can suggest you have stake tier based on merit like this .

1 stake for Jr. member but 1.5 stake for Jr.Member with more than 5 merits.
2 stake for Member but 3 stake for  Member who earned 10 Merits(means somebody become member by earning 10+ merit or  user who was already member at merit system implementation now having 20+ merit will have more stakes than other members)

You can go on creating this chart for all ranks.
BPIP tool can help you to understand that how much merit a user has earned and how much merit was airdropped to user when you click on user profile and you will see the chart of merit of that user that explain current and merit received. Current Merit - Merit received will give you the value of airdropped merit.



Look like some users are taking in another sense when I am mentioning the word bounty.  My whole intent for this post is to explain that current merit requirement still encourage alt account creation at Jr.Member/Member level  for bounty farming.


The moment we change the rules to fit the bounty/airdrops/whatever we probably should simply close the shop.

Closing your eyes  is also not going to help you. If you re allowing bounties here then you need to formulate rules for them too.


Actually, if one jmember is banned it requires only1 merit to rank up again with a  new account. If we increase this level to 5 it will be harder to rank up abuse, buy/exchange merit and the spam will decrease.

On top of it, Some got that one merit for whining . If you see B&H closely, Every week somebody open a whining/how to get merit thread. Unfortunately they get successful too in getting that one merit. 
1145  Other / Meta / Re: Merit requirement should be proportional to activity/bounty stakes on: December 08, 2018, 08:23:03 AM

Or just disable signature on Jr. Member rank since newcomers (aka people who genuinely interested with Bitcoin technology/discussion) who don't plan join signature campaign still need feature such as no PM restriction and can post images.

I am not sure whether theymos like to disable signature for Jr. Member or increase Merit requirement to 25 from 1 from Jr.Member.

so reducing Merit requirement for each rank is one of suggestion. Whether Merit requirement increase or decrease, it ratio of Activity vs Rank should be constant for all rank.

Oh .in fact . when the account is locked. can not delete, edit, comment.

Ok tks . Perhaps the previous user of the account has copied
1147  Other / Meta / Re: Merit requirement should be proportional to activity/bounty stakes on: December 08, 2018, 06:46:22 AM
Why should the forum change its requirements to conform with some random bounty allocations?

You can read bounty as "Activity" then.
When we says Jr.Member are spamming for signatures then activity based merit system will just discourage them to go on creating multiple accounts.
Anyway I guess bounty stakes basis was "Activity" only.

If you agree Signatures are cause of spamming then you have to create rules that can effectively counter it and it is not equivalent to "forum change its requirements to conform with some random bounty allocations"
1148  Other / Meta / Merit requirement should be proportional to activity on: December 08, 2018, 06:27:22 AM
I know theymos has no interest in knowing what rank get what bounty stakes in signature campaign but truth is that everybody agrees that signature campaigns are the main root cause of spam.

So I checked various bounties thread and my understanding about stake ratio in a campaign as follows:

Jr. member : 1 stake
Member      : 2 stake
Full Member : 3 to 5 stake
Senior Member: 4 to 6 stake
Hero  member  : 6 to 8 stake
Legendary        : 8 to 10 stake  (in some cases they are treated equivalent to hero only)

It simply look like 2 Jr. member bounty stakes are equivalent to Member  and bounty stake of 5 Jr. member are equivalent to full member.
But Full member requires to get 100 merits while it just require 5 merits for 5 Jr. member.
When you start comparing rank of Jr.Member and Member vs other higher rank , you will clearly see that  bounty stakes are favoring multiple small ranked account instead of one high ranking account.

My personal belief is that it might encourage spammer to create multiple account and get few merits by hook and crook for that account and start one more  new account instead of focusing in posting etiquette and sincerely try to rank up.

I suggest that merit requirement for each rank   should be proportional to  the activity required (or bounty stakes, but look like bounty stakes also based on activity only (before the inception of merit) and still continuing on that old model)

With my above suggestion, I guess problem of spam generation by Sig campaign might be solved but it will cause new problem of ranking up in lower ranks like 25 merits for Jr.Member rank or 50 Merit for member rank.

To counter this problem , I will suggest to reduce the number of merit required to be half to activity for each  rank.
Like 15 for Jr.Member, 30 for Member, 60 (or 50)  for full Member, 125 for Sr.Member, 250 for Hero Member and 500 for legendary. Since airdropped Merits were given to maintain the rank earlier so we should half them also for maintaining the rank.

For ex. A senior Member at the time of implementation of Merit given 250 airdropped Merit and earned 100 Merit till now will be having 350 Merits and still still short with 150 merits for hero (assumed Sr.member full filled the activity criteria.) With new proposition, Airdropped merit will be halved that become 125 and member earned 100 merit, making total to 225 and now short of only 25 merits to become hero  (assumed Sr.member full filled the activity criteria.)

I think maintaining the linearity between activity and merit will discourage user to create multiple low level account for sig spamming.

 Edit: Look like some users are taking in another sense when I am mentioning the word bounty.  My whole intent for this post is to explain that current merit requirement still encourage alt account creation at Jr.Member/Member level  for bounty farming.

When I said you are naive , there is a reason.Look  how badly you mixed all the quoting in above post. (https://archive.is/72Chr)

Coming back to your questions in that post.
1. Which account is banned?

Your account is banned that you are talking  in previous posts

You can check in bpip : https://bpip.org/profile.aspx?p=FrankNoland


2.I hope you got paid to write that, what a bad joke it was

I think you got worst joke, hacked + banned account.
1150  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Where to store on: December 08, 2018, 03:25:03 AM
Which wallets are better, hot or cold?

Hot or cold terms is defined by the way you use your wallet. If wallet is always connected to network then it is called hot wallet and if it is offline then it is called cold wallet.
It is not advisable to keep large amount in hot wallet. Just put amount needed for operations in hot wallet and refill the hot wallet with your cold wallets.
 
1151  Other / Meta / Re: Account hacked -- should I blame admins or not? on: December 07, 2018, 09:27:59 AM
@OP.
Account is banned too. So it does not make any sense to red trust it.

But you look quite a naive in this forum.
1. posting multiple comment in a row in thread.
2. not able to secure your account.
3. Did not provided any concrete proof that hacked/banned account belonged to you.
  (concrete proof means signing the message from the address that was posted from that account in this forum)

Now my Snr Member account is hacked, when will I rank as senior again since they have introduced this merit system?


Since you gained 3 merits in a year, it will take you 250/3 years that will be approximately 80 years.


My argument is based on the fact an email address was changed without letting the owner confirm it, it can be referred to as unauthorized change of ownership. In this case, everyone's account is at risk, including the admins.

Nopes, If admin think,hacking of account is so easy then he is not openly giving 1 troy once of gold for finding the email address of default trust account.

- 1 XAU: Find the email address of user DefaultTrust and explain in detail how you did it.



1152  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: New scam schema on the forum on: December 07, 2018, 08:58:20 AM

We would be happy to see no one else getting scammed neither, but HOW?!
By simply controlling the greed of grabbing any thing that look like free/easy money

Why won't we collectively contact the domain/registrar where he creates all these scam sites and get him arrested once and for all?!

How Domain registrar is in fault ? Did you checked that business was registered or not? Did business looked legit? Did business model was sustainable?
if answer to any one of question is "NO" then do not deal with it.

Best way is to use your own brain and judgement while dealing with others and you do not need any custom list/forum supplied list/ or more people in DT.

---snip --

I do not know whether you are scammed or not but I always feel people have good intentions to scam when they post their ad here but in return they want to be contacted in telegram,facebook and twitter.

Just make sure that you leave responses in the thread too, so that everybody know that how many people are dealing with user and how the deal is going on.

PS: I am not blaming anybody but it is my personal observation in this forum that somebody is interested in making deal outside the boundary of this forum is a red flag.
1155  Other / Meta / Re: [TOP-200] Members who have a lot of earned sMerits on: December 07, 2018, 05:56:03 AM
These users are banned and cannot distribute sMerits:

Hal, laszlo, TERA2, pitipawn, niknik1966, zentdex, SeverusSnegg, wex.nz, oracleongoodbye.



Look like you mixed locked+banned as banned.
As far I know theymos locked the "Hal" account , did not banned him. Nor did I ever read that laszlo was banned nor bpip says so.

I kept his account unlocked because I thought his family members might want to look at his PMs or something, but this is looking like his account was almost certainly compromised. So I locked his account.

The person who controls his account gained access via email-password-reset, so his email is probably also compromised.

1157  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: We've just seen the second largest percentage drop in the hash rate. on: December 05, 2018, 01:56:07 AM
I do not think gradual drop in hashrate is  problem (if it drop too suddenly then it cause issues that miners are not able to mine the blocks.)

If we plot hashrate graph on price analysis chart, we are able to see that the current price are corresponding to Sep 2017 price when hashrate was 8*10E6 TH/s. We still have hashrate of more than 30*10E6 TH/s , that is roughly 4x .
If network is secure at that time, I do not see any reason of worry now.

Anyways let think who will like to weaken the networks?
Only anti-cryptocurrency guys  but bankers themselves more interested in booking profits in crypto instead of destroying it do I will rule out them.
Any Bitcoin hater so that their alternate currency will be benefited?  I do not think so because this attack will weaken who crypto currency market not only the bitcoin.

I do not see anybody can be motivated to destroy the network even hashrate is decreasing.

lightlord needs to employ a new campaign manager, fuck knows what happened to Lutpin. He used to be a really trustworthy, helpful member of the community but he’s obviously lost his shit.
lightlord get a new campaign manager before you start getting neg trust from DT Members.
I'm in discussion with LL about transfering the campaign.
Meanwhile: 4f74525c1f7f140121a392862187cbedc2ac420b65990db53ed616dcdd68b2d4
 

It is good move to transfer the campaign but you should give idea to the current state of campaign to  current participants. Whether they should continue or wait for Lightlord post.

Just wondering why do you not recruit some BM to help you out.

He's not doing that because he knows damn well he'll get that account red-tagged immediately and then it'll be worth nothing.  

A newbie account posting a account sales for legendary is  suspicious. Actually I guess it is just a trick to scam people, lure them for account, pocket the money and leave. Buyer is not able to tell anybody because it bring red trust to buyer also.

Not to think that I'll change my password and cheat when I give them

Look like you are already aware of these cheating methods.
